The book explains four waves of migrations during the colonial period, these include:
East Anglian Puritans to New England, 1629-1640;
West Country Cavaliers and their Servants to the Chesapeake
1640-1675;
North Midland Quakers to the Delaware Valley, 1675-1725;
British and Scottish Borderers (the so-called "Scotch-Irish") to the American Backwoods, 1717-1775.
This book helps researchers determine the most likely British origins of these four groups through detailed maps and extensive information. Bill's talent for map-making clearly illustrates the locations of the counties in England where the emigrants lived prior to coming to America. Various aspects about each of these groups including folkways, historical background, and reasons for moving are provided.
